Shi Xiaonian looked at Gong Ou opposite. Under the candlelight, his face looked particularly gloomy and unpredictable. She was a little uneasy, not knowing how much of what she said he had heard.
"Why are not you talking?"
Gong Ou pulled over another plate of desserts and started eating.
His tone was deep, without any emotion or anger. Shi Xiaonian bit her lip and asked in a low voice, "Don't you like me saying such things?"
Why did he react like this
She thought he would be shocked when she mentioned that she was mentally weak, but he had nothing to do with it. He was so calm that it was scary.
"No, keep talking." Gong Ou looked at her and said in a low voice, "Is your current mental state still like this?"
Shi Xiaonian lowered her eyes and nodded after a long time, "Mong Ou, I think I am not suitable for being protected like this anymore. I always make mistakes and make Holy and Xiaokui unable to play well. I think … Change that.”
“…”
Gong Ou continued to eat the dessert, as if he was not full, and kept eating.
Shi Xiaonian raised her eyes and looked at him, "If this continues, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive. I don't want the children to lose their mother, and I don't want you to lose..."
At the end of the story, Shi Xiaonian couldn't speak any more. She observed Gong Ou's face, and Gong Ou ate the dessert with a gloomy look on his face without saying a word.
The atmosphere shrouded in candlelight became increasingly heavy.
The calmer the person, the more panicked he becomes.
"Am I quite ignorant? How many people can't ask for protection, and I am still causing so many troubles while being protected." Shi Xiaonian whispered, her voice was very bitter, "I also know that I am quite annoying, but I I don’t want things to get worse.”
"how do you want to do it?"
Gong Ou put an empty leftover bowl aside and picked up another bowl of soup with his slender hands.
"I want to be by your side. I don't want to be protected by such a closed system anymore." Shi Xiaonian said, and she hoped he would understand.
Gong Ou scooped the soup into his mouth and looked at her face illuminated by the candlelight with a pair of red eyes, "You mean, my protection of you caused your mental breakdown."
"No." Shi Xiaonian retorted without thinking, "I said, this is my problem. I, I can't think of a better way to solve it. That's why I said that. It's not that it's wrong for you to do so much for me. , I know you are doing it for my own good, you have always been for me."
She thought that Gong Ou would be very angry after she confessed, or at least very shocked, but she didn't expect that Gong Ou would react like this.
"If I agree to you, I'm not completely sure of saving your life." Gong Ou finished the bowl of soup and continued to attack the next dish.
"Maybe things are not as bad as we thought. Lancaster has been seriously injured, hasn't he?" Shi Xiaonian said softly.
Gong Ou sat there silently, another dish bottomed out, and the plates in front of him slowly piled up.
Shi Xiaonian looked at him uneasily, unable to figure out his reaction. Gong Ou picked up another piece of cake and started eating it, and suddenly said, "If I don't promise you, will you be killed by me?"
Shi Xiaonian frowned, "Gong Ou, this is not your fault. Really, I have my own problems. My ability to bear is too fragile. I can't stand the closed life every day. I can't stand everyone taking me for granted." Hold it as carefully as a glass bottle and offer it..."
"Why is it all your fault?" Gong Ou interrupted her and put a piece of cake into his mouth.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian was stunned and looked at him blankly.
"You've said so much, why is it all your fault?" Gong Ou looked at her with an aggressive look.
Shi Xiaonian didn't know what to say, "It was my fault in the first place."
"Really? Since it's your fault, why should I make concessions for you?" Gong Ou asked coldly.
Hearing this, Shi Xiaonian was stunned, her hands on her knees were twisted together awkwardly, and she met Gong Ou's burning gaze, "You...are not willing to give in for me?"
"Give me?" Gong Ou asked coldly, "In the hospital, you said I had dirty thoughts and slapped me, but I endured it. Now since it's not my fault, why should I let it go?"
Shi Xiaonian looked at him blankly. Did she downplay her symptoms too lightly? Why can't I talk to him at all
"Gong Ou, I hope you can be tolerant of me, just think that I want to be willful just once, okay?" Shi Xiaonian looked at him, with pleading in his eyes.
He would agree, he loves her, doesn't he? He couldn't bear to see her getting worse and worse.
"What if I can't say it right?"
“…”
Shi Xiaonian was completely stunned. She didn't expect that he would have such an attitude after she said that she was not mentally well. She thought he would care.
Gong Ou stared at her, his eyes getting redder and redder, "Are you going to run away from me and resist my closed protection?"
escape.
Shi Xiaonian lowered her eyes. Both Luo Lie and Mu Qianchu had told her to let her live alone for a while, but she had never thought about it.
She couldn't imagine what Gong Ou would become like if she left Gong Ou at this time. She would rather endure it by herself than get to that point.
Thinking of this, Shi Xiaonian thought that this conversation could be over, it had no meaning at all.
She curled her lips, smiled wryly to herself, blinked her sour eyes, and raised her face. Gong Ou was staring at her, waiting for her answer.
Shi Xiaonian smiled bitterly and shook his head, "How is that possible? In fact, my problem is not serious. It is normal for modern people to have mental illness. I just need to adjust myself. I won't talk about it."
The candles on the dining table were burned lower and lower.
The restaurant was so quiet that they could hear each other's breathing so clearly.
"I agree with your request."
Gong Ou said in a deep voice, piled another empty plate on top, and then continued to attack the next plate, as if he had never been full.
Shi Xiaonian looked at the empty plates piled up like a hill, and couldn't help but worry, "That's enough, don't eat any more, it will break your stomach... What did you say?"
She suddenly reacted and looked blankly at Gong Ou, who was eating non-stop.
He said he agreed to her request. What request was it, was it to let her go to England, or to allow her to adjust her mood on her own
Gong Ou put down the empty plate in his hand, glanced at the food on the table that had been almost swept away, stood up from the table, and looked straight at her through the candlelight with a pair of red eyes, saying word by word, "Go wherever you want to go."
After saying that, Gong Ou turned around and left the restaurant without looking back.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian was left there alone, unable to react for a long time. He said she could go wherever she wanted. What did this mean
Is it out of anger, or does he agree that she will accompany him to England and no longer protect her in isolation
Would he agree so calmly? This is not Gong Ou's character at all.
Shi Xiaonian was sitting there, facing the candlelight on the table, and she couldn't imagine how Gong Ou would react like this. She thought he would ask her why she was mentally weak, and she thought he would scold her for why she did it for unnecessary people. so…
But he didn't say anything, didn't mention a word.
Is Miyao okay
I don't know how long it took before Shi Xiaonian stood up from the table and walked out alone, planning to check on the two children first.
Before she even reached the elevator, Shi Xiaonian saw two maids chatting while wiping vases.
"It scared me to death. What the young master did just now was as if he wanted to kill Dr. Luo."
"The same goes for Dr. Luo. I have never seen anyone dare to argue so fiercely with the young master. The two of them almost started fighting."
"The young master is so angry that he might smash the furniture again. I think we should be ready to clean up."
"Why… "
When Xiaonian stayed there, Gong Ou and Luo Lie quarreled? A flash of light hit her mind, and she understood everything instantly. She put her hands on her belly, raised her legs, and ran forward.
She rushed to Luo Lie's bedroom door and knocked hard.
The door was opened. Luo Lie was wearing a bathrobe, his hair was wet, and his face was filled with anger. There were several fireproof bags lined up on the chest of drawers behind him, and there were other people's last wishes inside. .
Shi Xiaonian stood there panting. Luo Lie was not surprised by her arrival. He wiped his head with a towel and said, "You don't have to look at me like this, I told you."
Hearing this, Shi Xiaonian's head almost exploded, and she said a little excitedly, "I said, I should be the one to say this, why do you have to get involved?"
"Would you say that? You will only see how much he has done for you, and then tolerate it and compromise." Luo Lie said indifferently, turning to look at the fireproof bag on the chest of drawers, "I just received the news that they Their bodies are still at the police station, and the Gong family could take them away and be cremated with just one word, but Mr. Gong doesn’t care about them at all, he won’t care about them at all, and will only let them continue to stay in that cold place.”
“…”
Shi Xiaonian stayed there.
"Yes, I went to see Mr. Gong out of anger." Luo Lie looked at her, "I can't control you for giving up on yourself, but did I do something wrong? The dead people don't need to give an explanation? Mr. Mu is still lying in the hospital. Mr. Gong doesn’t need to visit once? I know that the Gong family is a noble and aloof, but other people’s lives are also lives.”
Shi Xiaonian could not refute Luo Lie's words, lowered her head and said, "I admit that I am selfish, I don't want to hurt Gong Ou, but I said, I will tell Gong Ou."
He shouldn't have gotten ahead of her.
"I can't see your actions." Luo Lie said.
"What on earth did you say to Gong Ou?" Shi Xiaonian stood there and asked. At this point, she couldn't blame anyone.
"I just reprimanded him not to only think that the life of the Gong family is his life." Luo Lie paused and said, "He thinks he is right, so I told him the truth about your situation."
"Truthfully?"
"Xiao Kui suffers from the sequelae of fear of gunshots, and Holy suffers a deeper shadow. Your adoptive mother committed suicide, and countless people died for you. These all happened because he protected you. He thought he protected you, but he didn't. I expected you to bear all the sacrifices." Luo Lie said calmly. (To be continued)
